I switched to #13 last night. Curiosity struck and we dug out my beginning aligners. What a difference! It's more apparent in person, but this will give you an idea. The shape of the #1's (bottom) are more of a V and the 12's (top) are more of a U.
I go back to the dentist on Wednesday after a no-show appointment last week. I didn't realize I had an appt last Monday! I still have aligners to last through the end of the month so I'm not sure why I'm going back early... maybe to get more filing done. Yuck. The 13's I put on last night aren't very painful, but they're also not clipping over the attachments on the top right... which means another visit of tugging, filing, scraping, pulling aligners on and off a bazillion times... all of that means a lot of discomfort. It's getting difficult to talk again. The lisp has returned and I tend to send spit flying if I speak without aligners in. Hot! Ah well, it will all be over soon!
How much longer now? I can't believe you're almost done. That's awesome! I can totally see the difference. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Not much longer! I got the rest of my 18 aligners yesterday however she's going to order more for refinements and something equivalent to a "C-Chain" in regular orthodontics. I'll write another blog about it.
